Why does the heart beat without being connected to the body?
The heart is connected to the body, it is an integral organ.
Digestive system brakes down the food to elementary particles. These are absorbed in the blood stream. These elementary food particles pass to body via circulatory system. At the proximal end of the capillaries food particles enter the interstitial compartment. They go to each and every body cell. Body cells then utilize the food particles, as per need.
Do steroids affect only the circulatory system?
Steroid affect every system in the body. For instance, they affect the immune system by decreasing inflammation, the reproductive system by changing the balance of hormones, and the stomach by affecting its lining.
What is the common purpose of respiratory and circulatory system?
The common purpose of the respiratory and circulatory systems are bringing oxygen into the body for cellular processes, and bringing carbon dioxide waste out of the body. The circulatory system has many other functions as well.
Which substances travel from the digestive system to the circulatory system?
Different types of digested food particles travel from digestive to circulatory system. They are amino acids, glucose, fatty acids, glycerol, vitamins and minerals.
How does circulation of the blood help the cells?
It supplies Oxygen to the cells and tissues and excrete Carbondioxide from them
Which disease of the circulatory system contributes the both stroke and heart attack?
coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Does a animal cell have cyptoplasm?
Yes. All the liquid, called the cytosol, and all the organelles between the nuclear envelope and the cell's plasma membrane is the cytoplasm.
Is it dangerous when your legs swell?
Leg swelling can be a sign of various conditions, including heart, kidney, or liver problems, blood clot, infection, or problems with lymphatic system. It can also be caused by factors like sitting or standing for long periods, pregnancy, or certain medications. It's important to consult a healthcare provider if you experience persistent or severe leg swelling to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
What are not organs in the circulatory system?
The blood and its content is not an organ in the system, veins and capillaries carrying to and from organs reliant on the heart and its circulatory system are not organs.
However, its considerd that All the circulatory system IS an organ as a whole.
Leg>heart>lungs>heart>arm
Two large arteries, one on each side of the head, that carry blood to the head and that divide into an external branch supplying the neck, face, and other external parts, and an internal branch supplying the brain, eye, and other internal parts.
The mitral valve controls blood flow between?
The mitral valve (also known as the bicuspid) controls the flow of blood between the left atrium and the left ventricle. The similar valve on the right side of the heart is the tricuspid.
What is the similarity between a fish's circulatory system and humans circulatory?
Both are close circulatory system.
What chamber of the upper heart receives blood from the rest of the body?
Blood returning from the rest of the body is received by the right atrium.
Enzyme that break down fatty acids are called lipases.
Bile is a substance made in our liver which contains salts that breaks down fat into smaller droplets.
The pancreas also contains a substance called pancreatic juice which contains numerous enzymes that work to break down things such as fat, protein and starch.
What causes discoloration of heart muscles?
Liver disease or smoking is a contribute to discoloration of heart muscles
What CPT code would you assign for excision of carotid body tumor with excision of carotid artery?
In the CPT manual Carotid's are classified within the Endocrine System subsection (60000-60699) range. The exact code to use for an excision of carotid body tumor with excision of carotid artery is 60605.
How has technology allowed us to control the flow of blood in your bodies?
technology has helped control the blood flow by putting in a fake heart or a microchip in your heart which does the same job as the heart but has to be replaced
Which vessel of the heart receives blood during the right ventricular systole?
Right ventricular systole is pumping blood into the PULMONARY ARTERIES just as left ventricular systole is pumping blood into the AORTA -- both at the same time.

In right ventricular systole, the blood enters the pulmonary trunk before proceding into the pulmonary arteries.
A swishing or bruit sound heard over the carotid is an indication of turbulence in the carotid circulation. The turbulence may be caused by arterial stenosis (narrowing). It is not possible to predict the amount of stenosis present. An ultrasound of the carotid will provide that information
What are the similarities between the circulatory system and an electrical circuit?
in order for a circuit to work the whole circuit has to be connected, just like the circulatory system. The heart pumps the blood around the body so that the oxygen in the blood can go around the body to the required organs or muscles. In a circuit the battery pumps the electrons around the circuit so that the bulb is able to work.
Upper chambers of the heart muscle include which atrium and ventricle?
The upper chambers of the heart muscle include the
